In the pines,in the pinesWhere the sun never shinesAnd you shived when the cold, the coldThe cold, the cold winds blow

Couplet :

Then I went to New Orleans and met a womanMan, she was a swingin' queenShe took the number off my carAnd gave it to me as a nameAnd the shiver when the cold winds blowYes, I walks off from Dallas, ladies and gentlemenJust movin' quite fast nowI kick my side all the timeGotta watch out for the policeGotta watch out for everybodyWho knows my number and not my nameWell, I wish I was back In the pinesWhere the sun never shinesWhere you shiver, when the cold winds blowNow let me tell you, I walk southI'm movin' toward to L.A.Movin' fast, with some grassI'm talkin' to some people on the way, you knowBut they don't know that it's my numberAnd not my nameOne of these days they're gonna catch up to meThe police are gonna hit me with a great big ol' bullet, you knowAnd I'm just gonna lay downAnd I hope someday they're gonna lay me, 'nearth the pinesAnd I'll shiver when the cold winds blow
